Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If jihad is an individual obligation, is it prioritized over dutifulness to parents?
Answer:
If it is an individual obligation, it is prioritized over everything, for example: if the enemy attacks the town, or if one is between the two battle lines, or if the imam mobilizes him; this is an individual obligation. In these three situations:
If the enemy attacks the town, it is obligatory for everyone to fight to repel them according to their ability.
Or if the imam calls them to mobilize, it is obligatory for them to fight.
Or if one is present between the two battle lines, he does not turn aside, nor does he turn his back and flee.
